Nice choice

Just a response on podcast index thing: yes its centralized but its not required to upload to rss. Its the one everyone references but the difference is its become centralized naturally as opposed to intentionally. Anyone can create an alternative index as RSS sits independent of that (though there is a network effects to consider in reality). The data is decentralized its only the reference library everyone happens to use is centralized. The key here is that the data is still self-hosted by the individual content creator. Podcast index can remove the reference to your data (like any relay can) but that doesn't rug your content, just the distribution via their library. No diff than if a relay chose to delete your notes or however its being stored. I guess there's blossom, but you can host your RSS feed in the same way too so there's no diff in that sense.

Genuinely curious, not trying to pick a fight. With nostr music, if I upload with sunami, does that also distribute me across all clients that say they do "nostr music" as in... everyone is using kind xyz or whatever it is being used? Is this generally consistent across the board? Again, not throwing shade, genuinely wondering.

Nostr music (in its current form) is objectively speaking a step backwards for musicians. Don't get me wrong, im a huge nostr fan and probably the loudest pro-nostr voice among the RSS crowd. But nostr music is not ready yet imo. For example, the issues around version control and ensuring users always get served the latest version is a non-starter for us from a business perspective.

The vibe shift is real, I get it all the time. Clownworld is exhausting like that.

We already have an infrastructure layer (rss) that works incredibly well. Don't recreate the wheel! Nostr doesn't need to be the infra. It acts optimally as additional programmable social layer that sits on top, not instead of.

Bedrock of nostr in the amythest heyday

Wow what a striking piece!
